Accredited Registrar

When this refers to domain registering, an accredited registrar is a company or organization that follows guidlines and licensing procedures that allow it to register domain names for customers. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is responsible for regulating the numbers and names that are used to create websites. If a company wants to be able to sell and register domain names, they must be ICANN accredited or a licensed reseller through an ICANN accredited registrar.
